Polycord Conveyor Belts

For the following questions, assume a 20" wide conveyor that is 20" long. There would be 8 strands of 1/4" polycord acting as the conveyor.

How fast can a polycord conveyor belt be run? How is that speed effected by number of turns the conveyor makes? How do you frame your conveyor and how do you keep the belts in line? What does the polycord roll around (what diameter)? What durometer polycord works well with the Fuel if anybody has tested that? Does a single run of polycord with a stationary wall work better, or does 2 powered runs of polycord work better? Does the conveyor require a significant amount of power to run, especially when loaded to capacity with Fuel?

Probably a lot of unanswerable questions, but I'm just looking for asomething much information about conveyors as possible, because I've never built one before.
